Looking really nice! :drinking:

Just not a fan of the red lip of the front splitter but it's your car so it's the way you like it. :smiley:

Usually I like a clean car with no obvious mods (looking at my car seems otherwise :grin:), but i like how the red lip looks on Dan's ride.   :happy2:

Does it depend on the engine that it is currently running, or the engine the car came with? If the latter then it is normal GTI with a k04 turbo and supporting hardware, hence stage 3?

Why not a stage 4? It has a completely different engine! :signLOL:

Well it's not an ed30 and has a k04, so I'd call it a Stage 3 too

Been a mental couple of days so done quite a bit.

Single stage polish
Gtechniq Serum coating
Arch liners removed, arches cleaned and undersealed
Interior cleaned and protected
Glass protected
Exhaust cleaned up
Garage midnight stud kit fitted
Plastics painted again  :sad1:









































Very pleased with how she's come out. Definitely needed the clean up and protection. Got some real depth back in the paint, far from perfect but will do for her age and how much abuse she gets. Got some better pics my friend took coming at some point.

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.
